Today, I welcome back Dr. Davey Alleman who is a private practice general dentist in Utah. Prior to this, he served as a dentist in the US Army for five years. Passionate about improving outcomes, Dr. Davey and his father teach a year-long course in biomimetic dentistry to dentists all over the world.
